Talking To The Younger Mechanics! Ron starts this episode saying that someone asked him this week if he would do it all over again, and gives you his answer. He talks about what it takes to be successful in auto repair from his perspective, based on his experiences. He also recounts a conversation this week in the shop with a GM master technician. The young tech is doing 2 -3 engine swaps a week at his dealership due to problems GM is having with their V8 engines in certain model SUV's and Trucks. Ron opens the phones this hour with a call on a 98 Town and Country that dies after a restart . Its been 2 years and the owner is afraid to drive it but no one can offer him a diagnosis. Well no one but Ron! The Car Doctor gets the caller on the path to success walking him thru some basic and not so basic diagnosis. His next caller is from CT about a 2022 Chevy Malibu; questions range from problems with the turbocharger bypass solenoid to a problem with fuel spitting out while fueling up : Ron's last call of the hour comes from Hawaii; Anne Marie is having problems with a 24 Hyundai Santa Cruz that is rarely used. The car is parked most of the time because it is in at a home rented for vacationers. The concern is how to keep the battery from running itself down sits it sits for long periods of time. No sweat; Ron Ananian to the rescue! The Car Dr closes out hour taking us "In The Shop" talking about an 08 GMC Canyon that needed extensive repairs this week, and how it was almost held up over an ambient air temp sensor.
